zed a male quartett, which will

Try A Want Ad
Continued failure to pay current bills covering family needs
is sufficient cause for terminating employment with WPA, Mr.
Gilbertson announced this week.
"The purpose of the WPA program is to enable unemployed
persons to be self supporting,
failure to pay current bills cover
ing actual family needs placesthe
burden of family support on the
merchant and landlord and defeats the purpose of the program
Continued failure to pay bills
will be considered the same as
no support and will be sufficient
cause for termination of a worker.
